JACKETED CAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 509,440, dated November28, 1893.

Application filed August 24,1893- Serial No. 483,938- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORRIS A. MARZYNSKI, residing in Boston, in thecounty of Suifolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented anImprovement in Jaeketed Cans, of which the following description, inconnection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, likeletters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to cans commonly employed for shipping liquids,such as oils, and provided with a sheet metal jacket, separated from thebody of the can to leave an air space.

This invention has for its object to provide it a stronger, more durableand cheaper can of the class described, and constructed as will bedescribed, to leave between the jacket and the body of the can, an airspace which is protected or covered by the breast of the can, so that,in use, the liquid contents of the can are prevented from running intothe space between the jacket and the can body, thereby obviating thedisagreeable feature of oil or like liquid in the air space leaking ontothe floor or other support upon which the can is placed.

In accordance with this invention, the can body near its upper end isprovided with an annular outwardly projecting bead, collar or flange,forming an integral part of the can body and formed in the process ofmaking the can body and also with an outwardly extended lip above thesaid collar or head, which lip is embraced by the flange on the top ofthe can, the said lip and flange in the formation of the can beingpressed down onto the said head or collar, whereby the can is greatlystrengthened at its breast. The annular bead or collar is embraced bythe jacket and serves to separate the latter from the can body asufficient distance to prevent indentation of the can body.

The particular features in which this invention consists will be pointedout in the claims at the end of this specification.

The drawing is a vertical longitudinal section of a jacketed canembodying this inven tion.

The can body a, of sheet metal and herein shown as cylindrical in form,is provided at its upper end or portion, in accordance with thisinvention, with an outwardly extended bead, collar or circumferentialprojection a integral with the can body and shaped in the formation ofthe can body.

The can body a has secured to it the top a of usual or suitable form andconstruction, and provided with a preferably downwardly extended flangea at the breast of the can, which flange is turned under an outwardlyturn ed lip a on the can body, the said top and body being securedtogether by solder, the said flange and lip in the making of the canbeing compressed and seated against the collar 0,, thereby rendering thecan strong at this point.

The can body ct is covered by a jacket b preferably of sheet metal, thesaid jacket being made of such size or diameter as to fit 7o snugly theannular collar, and the said jacket may and preferably will be securedat its bottom or lower portion to the can body by metal strips b, whichmay be soldered at one end to the can body and have their other endsfirmly secured to the inside of the jacket by means of tacks or nails b,driven through the jacket and fastening strip into the wooden bot-tom bof the jacket.

The can may be provided with the usual handle or bail Z).

By making the collar or bead a integral with the can body, the latter isgreatly strengthened at its upper part where it is joined to the breastof the can, and the flange a may be made of sufficient length to projectover the jacket and form a deflecting lip or guard, by which any liquidspilled on the top of the can is prevented from finding its way into theair space between the can body and its jacket, which would beobjectionable on account of such liquid leaking through the bottom ofthe jacket. Furthermore, by this construction of can body, the flangemay be made substantially short and yet be long 5 enough to project overthe jacket.

The can body constructed as herein shown, is strong and capable ofresisting the shocks, to which cans of this class are ordinarily subjected in transportation, without being intoo dented. The improved canherein shown is strong, durable, cheap and eflicieut for the purpose forwhich it is used.

I claim 1. In a jacketed can, the combination with a metal can bodyprovided at its upper end with an outwardly extended collar or bead, andabove the said collar or bead with an out- 5 wardly extended lip, ametal top provided with a flange bent under the said outwardly extendedlip and compressed upon the said collar or bead and a jacket fitted onsaid body to embrace the said collar or bead, substan- 10 tially asdescribed.

2. In a jacketed can, the combination with a metal can bodyprovided withan outwardly extended collar, bead or projection integral therewith, anoutwardly extended lip on the 15 can body above the said collar or bead,a
